A. despatch from (Chicago says:-- 13ov, I+'xunk De Witt Talmage lu'each- ed from the following text: Jeremiah vi„ 16, "Ask for the old paths." Most simple is the text's figure. Its simplicity gives, It a homely beau- ty, It has in it .the aroma of the woods. .It Is one of those simple Similes of country life that bring back to the weary city dweller, whose feet haw° been long accustomed to the hard paving stones of the city sidewalks, the memory of the foot- paths over turf covered ]tills and the narrow lanes between the liailks be- jeweled with sweet wins .flowers that he used'. 'to walk in his childhood days. Tho old paths—we can never forget than. It will do us good if wo think of theist thi's morning and see if there aye any, moral leSSOnS we can learn from theist, Sometimes the commonest incidents of everyday life have a voice for those who will hear, • Jeremiah, among the greatest of the .prophets, lamenting • that tis coltntrymen had deserted: their God and 'disobeyed his laws, pleads with them to avert the impending punish- ment by returning to him, and he employs this simple figure to por- tray their condition. He describes them as .travelers lost upon the mountains of sin, hunting for a path which will lead them out of their moral 'difficulties. He represents God as telling them to "ask for the old paths; which is the good way, and walk therein, and yo shall find rest for your souls. But they said, "We will not walk therein." Jeremiah points the right path leading to the throne of God by using the homely simile of the ordinary country paths or rough roadways in common use at the time, over which the eastern caravans havo traveled and the cows have costo home for the evening milk- ing and over which have passed tired men and women when, with daily tasks well done, they have sought the home firesides for physi- cal refreshment and for blessed steep. THE PATHWAY TO TELE CROSS. Like Jeremiah; I would to -day car- ry your thoughts back to the re- miniscences of the country and from the sweet, fresh flowers of the vil- lage hedgerows pluck blossoms which tvi11 remind you of old time associa- tions and resolves, The greatest of horticulturists is not .he garaener who fashions his beds in the "many colors" of a Joseph's coat or a grandmother's crazy quilt. It is ho who makes his floral designs simple —very simple. One bed loops as though it were a bit of Alphine lake flung aniong the crowded regiments of flowers. It is planted entirely with violets. It looks as simple and yet as beautiful as the June heavens colored in blue. Another bed looks like a great collection of leaping flames. It is planted only in roses. It is very simple. It, is as simple in colors as a cardinal's robe. It is as simple in colors as the set- ting sun. Another bed has the jaundiced look of a Malay's skin. It is only planted in golden glows. An- other will be an azalea bed, another a dahlia, another planted in white lilies, another in geraniums. The horticulturistic genius thrives best in the simplicity of colors. From this sermonic bed I would pluck only .the sweet for-get-nle-nota of ten- der memories. Like Jeremiah the prophet I would try to lead you over some of the old paths which your feet have trodden in the past, and in leading I would lead you to the foot of the cross. CLEAR AWAY IRE RUBBISH. But, conte, let' us take our axes to -day and clear away some of that rubbish. Let us explore the old path which once led up to the old liornestead. • When the first settlers entered the Michigan woods they used to "blaze" the trees, That means that with their axes they would chop a notch out of this tree and that and the other tree as they went along. Thus, if they could find the right place to settle in one di- rection, they would retrace their steps by these notches and start out in the woods from another direction. Well, these old paths which once led up to the homes of our childhood may not have been used for a quar- ter of a century, but they can be easily followed. Our parents "blaz- ed" them all the way along: As I follow these "blazings" I find they were morally straight paths. They were as straight as a hie. Your father may not have had much money. In all probability you, as a farmer's boy, remember him for the most part clothed in ovoralls and a woolen shirt. • ]Jut under that rough exterior therm beat a heart es true as honesty itself. Looking back over the long years, you remember him traveling that "straight path." You cannot , think of one act your father ever slid which was dishonor- able. People sometimes said "he was close" in reference to money. He had to be close in order to furnish bread enough for his babies' mouths, 'You cannot remember your father once losing his temper and uttering maledictions unless perhaps it was c1t the day when he found that a neighbor, w110 was left ars executor. by law, had robbed a pons' widow of her all. A1r, that old father 01 yours may stave worn shabby clothes and may have been poor in pocket, but he earl rich le charac- ter. The path he traveled to and from the old homestead was always a. "straight path." Though the "last will and testament" which he signed made provision for a few trent:els, a Bible and a gold headed Cane, and perhaps a snuffbox, that father left you the grandest legacy a boy ever received. Be left to you an untarnished name, -the example of a father's life well and honestly li.1' ed. "BLAZING", MAEIK$. Then, again, I further study the "blazing" marks along the pathe which led up to the home of our childhood, 1 .find out Veit those paths were Christian path; and an ways led toward the throne 01 God. IIow do I know? Well, u,..y friend, in going along the pathway which was "blazed" by your mother's bread knife and knitting needle, I comp upon altars everywhere. I find that there was hardly a step that she took in life but she had a Place where she could stop and kneel in r rayer. And at every' altar I find indentations in the rocks where shet. laid l�ci' burdens at the Saviour's fee And, oh, my friend, what a lot, of burdens she had to lay upon her "Saviour's breast in her journey of life! There was that awful burden of physical sickness. I do not know now you may remember your mother, but inost of us think of another when she was physically sick, She seemed to be so long dying. Now it was, the pain in the heady now it was the disordered nerves, Then it was that long, long' time, 'cahen we had a trained nurse. "How is mo- ther to -day?" the younger children would ask, and she would answer, "Not very well, my dear; not very well." I think one of the saddest and yet the most beautiful prayers my mother used to make, in` the cast year and a half of her earthly ex- istence, was this, "Oh, God, may my children never have to physically stiffer as I have suffered." Yet, for the most part, our mothers lost their physical health by living and doing for us. A GLORIFIED ROADWAY. I go a little farther along this Christian path of your dead mother. I find also the place where she laid at Christ's feet the burden of her anxiety for the salvation of her children. 'Sone people dove to think of their mother, first by pic- turing her sitting and sewing for their advent. It is a beautiful sight to see the young wife, by the evening lamp with her needle in her hand, making the little white gar - 1 :eats for the. stranger soon to come. Our mothers thought and planned for the cradle and the little ward- robe weeks before we were born. They did it so that when they should lie down upon a bed of suf- fering all might be well for the little one's welcome. That is "a beautiful vision. But, oh, to me it is a far more beautiful sight to see a young wife upon her knees in prayer. To think of her praying to God that her unborn child might grow up to be a good man, a good woman. And you, my friend, sitting before me, from that moment when your moth- er first prayed for you until her death she never left that altar be- fore which she was continually be- seeching God for the salvation of your soul. Along that Christian pathway she first led your tottering feet. In that Christian pathway she first taught you to utter the baby prayer, "Now I lay inc down to sleep." In that Christian path she gave you her dying benediction. Will you not seek the old path, the Christian path of your glorified and sainted mother ? It is a path cov- ered with wild flowers and fragrant with perfume. Those flowers and that pathway have been watered with your mother's tears. WALKING WITH CHRIST, If the path which you first travel- ed to Sunday school was along the sidewalk of a city, then . in all pro- bability' you walked. You walked byte side. of your father or moth- er, because you were the youngest. Then your new shoes would. squeak at every step. Those shoes kept for a long while, because you were only allowed to wear them on Sunday. But as you rode or walked to that Sunday school and to your first church services a great change came over your family party. One of your sisters or brothers left your side and went to the church altar. One by one they thane gave their hearts to Christ and publicly confessed him at the Communion table. After awhile your turn came. You can• see your- self now as you carne before the church session. You remember how the old minister wiped his glasses. He put his hand upon your shoulder and said : "My boy, why no you want to join the church ? Do you love Jesus ? WMMI you promise to live for him and give your life to his service ?" Then you remember the great big lump that stuck in your throat. You remember how between your sobs you said : "The reason I want to be a Christian is because my father and another and brothers and sisters are all Chris- tians: 1 want their Saviour to be mine. As we have a united family here I want an unbroken family cir- cle in heaven." Aged, gray haired man, that was a beautiful path over which you went to church for the first time. That was a holy drive you took on the morning you went to take your first communion. You did not speak much that morn- ing-, but your thoughts were very deep and very high. They' were as 'deep as your sins, as high as and as great as the forgiveness of God, Oh, why have you, not always kept walk- ing in that path ? Christ walked with you therm twenty years ago. Jeanie as guide is ready to lead you bark to that path and walk with you there now. Will you seek the old path—the path over which you went for the first time to the com- munion table of the Lord ? HIGHWAY Oh' IltOSSt)M i. ''here is still another path Whid you Once trod. ` This path Set frag- rant with blossoms. Like the fabled trete of old the heavy branches whi.a line it are laden with silver bells. It is the path which once led up • to your marriage alter.. It is the path over whloh the fallen rice is strewn. and Whore the 'Merry laughter of the bridesmaids is trying to dxown the jot fu1 salutations of the wedding chime. The blossoms which line this pathway are orange blossoms. The silver bells are those which once played Menciclssohn's "Wedding March." Wheredid that path which ended at the marriage altar first lead you ? "Oh," you answer, "it led me first among tile briers and aver the stony grounds: My court- ship days Were not all sunshine. For a long time I did not know whether :I could }van the hand of any heart- love. eartlove. In the first place, I was not socially her equal. Then , I was penniless and had nothing to. offer any two hands and a willing heart. Then, my life was not What it ought to have been, But she had faith in me. I promised her to reform. I went to church with her, 1 gave rte drd.nking, and. I promised •her I would surrender my heart to Christ, And,' do, you -know, the night she gave herself to rise she made me. kneel with her and we both made a prayer that God would hear and help me keep my vo'vs." Ah, yes, my brother, I know just how you think of that old path which led up to your marriage • altar i When you took the trembling hand of that young girl in yours you truly felt that you wanted to be good. You promised God, then and there, for her sake as well as your own, to hive a good, true, pure, noble, Chris- tian life. clave you kept your vow? Are you willing to go to church with her now as you did when you were engaged to her ? Are you helping her to setK the right example before your children—your children and hers? Remember, pian, you. made a promise to her and to God on the night of your wedding. • Will you seek the old path of consecrated love, 'which wound through the days of your courtship and ended on the night you took your heart love as a bride from her father's home ? THE WAY TO HAPPINESS. But how are you going to find your way back to these old paths ? Some of you have been away from these paths for many years. You aro lost, completely lost. You nev- er frrnd your way out from the moun- tains of sin unless you have a divine guide. The importance of a guide to one lost in the mountains of earth or of sin can never be overes- timated. I remember, some years ago, when bicycling through the mountains of West Virginia, we were completely lost. We wandered around and around until the sun sank and the twilight covered up her somber face with a black robe and hid herself in total darkness. We groped our way along, shuddering at the fiendish yell of a screech owl and the glittering eyes that might be those of a prowling panther. After ;awhile we saw a dint light in the distance. We struggled on until we could knock at that house and be taken in. Then in the morning we 1 were safe because our host, as a guide, directed us on. To -clay, ye lost and wearied sinners, Christ is ready to be your guide. He will lead you out of the mountains of sin. He will lead you. to the old paths which are all converging into the one Christian path that leads to the foot of the heavenly throne. Will you let him lead you ? Will you let him pardon you ? Will you let Jesus save you ? b So Sas LESSON. INTERNATIONAL LESSON', OCT. 18. Text of the -Lesson, Ps. li., 1-17. Golden Text, Ps. li., 10. ' This also is written by the Holy Spirit, as David said in some of his last words as the sweet psalmist of Israel, "The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and His word was in my tongue" (II. Sara. xxiii., 1, 2). See also Acts i., 16; iv., 25. If we would honor God and be blessed by Hini we must not only believe that all Scripture was written by the Holy Spirit, but that it was all written for our profit (II. Tim. iii., 16, 17; Rom. xv., 4). The occasion of this psalm is given to us in what we might call in our B3ibles the pre- face to the psalm; but which in the Hebrew psalter is part of the psalm itself and numbered as verses 1 and 2, making the whole psalm consist of twenty-one instead of nineteen vers- es. The same David whom God ap- pointed a king and a prophet prov- ed himself to bo a very great sin- ner. IIe did not in this surprise God, for God knew him thoroughly before He called hire; but inasmuch as the only human material God can get to work with is sinful, He takes what IIe pleases and magnifies His grace in such as we are, showing forth in greater or less degree our under sunfulness and Ills amazing grace and love. The Holy Spirit shows forth all that is in than with- out respect of persons. Nothing is covered or made light of; but man, being fully exposed, is shown how he may be cleansed from all his sin by Gcd's own provision. God is all mercy and loving kind- nors and long suffering, but He is just and cannot tolerate sift, evert though He bear long with the sin- ner (Ex, xxxiv., 6, 7), He has pro- vided, at infinite cost, eternal re- demption, including the forgiveness of all sins, for every truly penitent sinner, but there must be on the part of the sinner honest confession and forseking of all sin. We are all by nature sinners. This is sot forth generally in verse 5, with which com- pare Eph. 11,, 8; 310133. ill., 28. David's confession of sin is sae11 .113 verses 8 and 4, and his cry for cleansing and restoration in the greater part of 1Iie rest of the psalm, The inaj,'trity of people do not ;teem to think that they treed forgiveness. They ,have no conviction of sin, 310 sense of guilt before God, no con- scious need of a Saviour. A deep conviction, of sin is a great blessing, for only thus can We ap- preciate our Saviour and, His groat salvation. in verse '7 ;David doubt- less has reference to the ceremonial cleansing of the leper (Lev, xiv., 4-9), the hyssop beim; used to sprinkle the blood. "Whiter than snow" tastes; us to Ise.. i., 18. and makes us think also of our Lord's "clean every whit" (John edit,' 1.0)'.. That which David 'asked' for that all might be blotted out, verses 1, and 9, wo aro assured of in Isa. xliii,, 2 xliv., 22; I. John' 1-9. What a wonderful redemption it is that blots out all sin and makes the sinner to appear before God as if he bad never sinned, and the helpless shiner's only Part is to receive what God has provided. As one has said in John iii., . 16, God does all the loving and all the giving, and roan does the .receiving, When a eland of God commits sin 11e does not cease to be a child of God qtly more than when a child, in a family, being dis- obedient, , ceases to be a child 1t1 that family, but the joy and fellow- ship are broken, and the percales are grieved. , Da-vid does not pray that salvation may be restored to hire, but the joy of salvation (8, 12), That God has rebellions children is seers in Isa. i, 2, and the reason of it is hi the carnal mind, which is enmity against Gail, is not subject and never can be (130131. viii • 7), therefore the need of a clean heart and a right spirit, which only God can put in us and which lle hes promised. See Tileek, xxxvi, 2128, and remember that what God will in due time do for all Israel He will surely do for Isis ohm. now. There are, alas, so few who seem to want a clean heart now. The aim of many seems to be to get all the selfish enjoyment they can now, hop- ing that somehow by the mercy of God they may Peach heaven at last. Contrast David's desire in seeking again the joy of God's salvation that his tongue might sing aloud of God's ri ghtousness, that his mouth Wright show forth God's praise, that transgressors night know the ways of God and sinners be converted un- to Him (18-15). Therm are • many who still think, as did the hypocrites in Israel, that God's favor can be won by our gifts or so called sacrifices, not under- standing that God has provided the only and all sufficient sacrifice and is ready to give the full benefit to every truly broken anal contrite heart (16, 17). There is no Sav- iour for the proud and self righteous, but for those who know themselves to be lost and ]tentless sinners there as a Saviour and a full redemption. Prom, the first sacrifice of Gen. ill, 21, on to Calvary, We may truly say, 1 "hereby perceive we the love of IGocl." The sacrifices all point to Him who bore our sins in iris own. body and thus provided redemption for every sinner, for all Israel and for all nations (18, 19). Our sacri- fices are only the love of Christ con - 'straining us to show our gratitude 'to Him who has redeemed us. May our souls cry, "0 Lord, open Thou my lips, and my mouth sha'l show forth Thy praise." (15). And may we not forget that the God of Truth who has sent the Spirit of Truth to reveal Elim who is the Truth de- sires Truth in our inward parts (6). a ONE'S VOCABULARY. How Many Words Do You 'Use in Conversation ? In boasting of a foreigner's lin- guistic accomplishments, it is often heard said : "Ile speaks English as perfectly as you and I." But how perfectly do you and I" know our mother. tongue ? In point of vocabulary, it is esti- mated that Shakespeare stands eas- ily at the head, with a use of some- thing like 15.000 different words. Milton collies next with 8,000 or 9,- 000 words. Carlyle is supposed to have used as many. The Indiana- polig Journal quotes certain esti- mates stimates of the vocabulary used by the educated and . uneducated as varying all the way from 5,000 down to 300 or 400 words, and then revises these figures from an examination of the. unabridged dictionary, reaching these conclusions : "Every well-read per- son of fair ability and education win be able to define oi.• to understand as used, nearly or quite, perhaps more than 50,000 words, And the same per°nn in conversation and writing will command not fewer than 15,000 to 20,000, and can add, 5,- 000 to 10,000 to these numbers if he be literarily inclined. The plain people use or read un.derstandiugly from 8,000 to 10,000 words, accord- ing to their general intelligence and conversational power, while a per- son who cannot read, but who has a good degree of native mental ability, will command about 5,000." In making estimates of this hints we steed to be careful in defining clearly just what we mean, so far as mastery of the language is concern- ed. A man might aiderstand in a vague way three times as many words as he could intelligently use or call to mind. That is, the read- ing or hearing vocabulary is much larger than the writing or speaking vocabulary, 13ut''-does a man always really un- derstand the words he claims to ? Even if we admit that he knows words which he cannot clearly de- fine, such en stick, lump, anger, etc., yet if we are to determine bis mas- tery of the mother tongue we should submit Ilial to the test of a correct and descriminating use in either speaking or writing. "You and I" subjected to such a severe test as this might be h'wni'lated to find that if we wish to compliment our foreign friend's facility in English we would better refer . it to some better stan- dards of 'perfection." than our own linguistic aeeornplislrntents. • i '' i'f1R1TA1A11/4AMt R!CC til l)rucgisl's?

The house may be well built but dating before hand wood floors were so popular or so general. Straw matting wears out quickly and the floors are made of irregular boards with great cracks yawning here and there. It seems useless to thiale of making such a floor suitable for rugs but it may be done. In the beginning it is well to inoke up one's mind to be thorough, else it is bet- ter to give up the job at the outset, Tieing willing to take time first plane'lown the boards that stick ftp above the others, then fill the crack. 111 there are but few they may be filled with putty but if great opcn- c ings show between the separate !boards or along next to the well it tis good platy to retake some news - ;paper paste. Tear up old papers and put into water let it ware to a I boil and stir until it becomes a pasty mass, then add some coarse glue dissolved or take small quanti- ties at a time and add some plaster of Paris. ;Work rapidly using a knife or an old epoon which -ever seems most handy. Fleeter of Paris alone snakes a good filler. Mix a small cupful at a time with water until a stiff cream is formed then use it quickly before it hardens. If ;there are stains an the floor that ; washing will not remove use sand- paper* or even a piece of glass to ;remove the stained fibres. Steel shav- ;ings are even better than either 01 these for taking oft stains and can be bought at large paint stores. Now how shall site color the floor? Some of the stains bought ready mixed in cans are excellent. The oil oak stain is especially to be re- commended. Shake the can long and well before opening, then stir until there is no sediment hi the bottom of the can else you will have, clear oil for part maid a coloring matter like thick mud for the rest of the floor, You cannot hurry this part of the work. Apply the stain in a thin coating and rub with a piece of flannel; you will think that you are rubbing off all the color but keep at it feu the more you rub the stain into the wood the more last- ing and satisfactory the job will be. The oil -stained, in fact any stain- ed floor, should not be washed up u-ith soap suds but should be freed from 'hast and wiped with a damp cloth. The common floor stains should be applied in thin coats and then if used for a border only they wi.1 be iinproved by a thin coat of varnish. Then tJtiri the varnish with turpentine to make it sptioad as thinly as possible. The higher 'the character of rant., the less the pretence, because there is less to pretend to.•--i3olwer, THE SAVORY APPLE. Apple Pat-time—Line round patty pans with paste and in each place half of a pared and cored apple with the hollow side 'down, Adel a tea- spoon of butter and a pinch of nut- meg or a little: grated yellow rind of lemon, Bake until the apple is soft. Apple Pandowdy.—Line the bot- tom and sides of a baking dish with thin slices of bread that have been buttered, 1111 the dish with thin slices of apple and then grate a little nutmeg over the top, or use any other seasoning preferd•eil. Put on the top more or less of sugar de- pending on the quality of the fruit, adcl a little hot water, and 00170I' with another layer of bread. Put e. plate ever 'the dish mid bake the pandowdy slowly for one hoer sties a ha:f. Serve hot with cream or a liquid sauna Apple Cakein a Loaf.—Sift two cups of flour, three level tcaapoone of baking powder and a pinch of salt together. Add two tablespoons of melted butter and one beaten egg, with a cup of milk, adding the last of it carefully, as the dough must be tts soft as can he, and roll out. Lay the sheet of dough its the but- tered pan 033,d cover the top with mildly acid apples _paced Gnat cut iv eighths. Stiok the sharp edges of the apple into the dough, the; sprinkle over the top a level table- spoon of of cinnamon and two round ing tablespoons of sugar that have been mixed together. Serve with butter as a cake or with lemon sauce as a puddin Hot Appleg. Cake.—Sift two cups of pastry flour with four level tea- spoons of baiting powder and rub in one-quarter cup of butter. Mix with' one and one-half cups of milk, But- ter a padding dish and cover with the batter., then cover this with slic- ed apples; make another layer of batter and apples and a top layer of batter. Bake until the apples. are cooked,, which will take about an hour. Servo with a sauce made from: two cups of boiling water, one cup of sugar, two slightly rounding tablespoons of butter. When cook- ed smooth and dear, which shotadd take five minutes. add a teaspoon in lemon flavoring. HINTS TO HOUSE nInEPERS. it is easy enough to mace one's own lemon extract and have it both Icheap and pure. Grate the yellow t part of the rind of the lemons, put it into a wide-mouthed bottle, and cover with good alcohol. Let stand three wcekk, then draw the alcohol off, anis pour it over freshly grated peel. Let stand three weeks aped it will be realty for use. For those unpleasant afflictions known as styes use witch hazel (hamainelis) as soon as symptoms appear. If too strong for the eves weaken with a little water, Weak eyes al'e strengthened by the applica- tion and if begun in time, witch bezel will be found a sure preven- tive. A porcelain sauce pan that has be- come stained should bo half filled with water into which a tablespoon- ful of powdered borax has been put.
